He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;

Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
